Questions for the pros
First off I would like to say this is a great site and has some nice reads/info!!!
Which brings me to this. I have a 91 Electra Glide I pick-up this last summer for a great price and I kind of fell in love with the old girl. My plan was to do a few upgrades like new seat, stock spoke wheels, lower it, and just ride it. Well Lets just say the plan has changed!!!
The new winter list- (parts are in the garage waiting) 02 and up 18" 80 spoke wheels (front bearing changed to 3/4 and speedo drive cut down), new rotors, brake pads, 04 sportster pulley (68 tooth), 1 1/8 belt, 03 Road Glide swing arm with 1" axle and caliper, custom bushing for swing arms 3/4 to 5/8 shaft, new seat, 4 piston tokico calipers up front, biketronics-speakers, stereo, and wiring harness, lots of powder coating, and the last thing lowering 1-1.5".
Here's were I need a little help. Im going with progressive 412 11.5 standard duty, due to only weighting 150 pounds and 2 up with the wife we should be around 290ish. The front is were im not sure. Im doing away with the anti-dive for sure, but not sure were to relocate all the ground wire's from the ground block were the solenoid is mounted now. If I go with progressive drop-ins I could keep the solenoid mounted in stock location and keep the factory ground block. But im thinking about running progressive monotubes up front and that would eliminate the solenoid and ground block for sure!
So what I need to know is, are the monotubes well worth the extra cash over the drop-in kits and if someone has removed there anti-dive were and how did you relocate your ground wires? Sorry about the long read, just want to give you all the info.
